Things to do for April 04, 2013

The Weekender

Free Grilled Cheese, Philly Cheesesteakadillas and Tax-Related Cocktailing

A weekend in need is a weekend indeed.

Thursday

PERK ALERT

The Regal Bar Kits Your Cocktails Need

Your Perks this week: some regal bar sets from the golden age of imbibing—complete with rare booklets of recipes for old-school cocktails. (In case you need ideas.) Other beautiful things: 20% off the perfect desktop speakers, and some limited-edition surf art from a collective of international photographers.

POP MEET

It’s a Saturdays Surf NYC Pop-Up. Neat.

Polka-dot beach towels. Flower-print boardshorts. Sex Wax. These are things that are about to become important to your existence. Partly because, you know, spring. And partly because there’s a Saturdays Surf NYC pop-up party at Welcome Stranger tonight. They’re bringing their entire collection, too. Thank God it includes Sex Wax.

CATCHING A CASE

Tell Your iPad to Read This

Maybe you have an iPad. Or a Kindle. And maybe you’ve come to the horrifying realization that neither of them is being swaddled in an unreasonably handsome case that looks like a hardcover book. Well, DODOcase is letting you pay 48% less for everything on their site through midnight tonight. So calm down.

CHEESE AND THANK YOU

Grilled Cheese That Doesn’t Cost Money

Free grilled cheese. Great. Now that we’ve got your attention, know that if you’re one of the first 10,000 people to go to the Melt’s website and click a button, you’ll get a QR code redeemable for a gratis melt. Stop looking at us. Go.

Friday

PHILLY WONKA

The Philly Cheesesteakadilla Exists Now

Well, someone just invented something called a Philly Cheesesteakadilla. Yeah. It was Straw, actually. Picture a huge quesadilla stuffed with paper-thin tri-tip, onions, peppers and cheese, served with a four-cheese dipping sauce and fries. Congratulations: you’re picturing exactly this. Congratulations just in general, really.

Saturday

TAX ON, TAX OFF

Tax Relief, Now in Cocktail Form

Now through April 15, you’ll be able to get two cocktails (Moscow Mules, Old Cubans, Aviations...) for $15 when you walk into the Presidio Social Club. It’s called Cocktails for Tax Relief. So it’s a tax-relief thing. Apparently. Either way, enjoy that.
